Chapter 288: Tacit Understanding

If it weren't for the fact that he was a feudal official with a high position and a heavy army, Jia Rudao was the chief of Jinghu and the holy family Zhenglong, I am afraid that someone immediately slandered him and said that his husband and son-in-law had the intention of rebelling and wanted to cut off the throne.

Therefore, on the way back to Chengdu, Shi Bin and his gang were as low-key as possible, and the prefecture and county yamen along the road were not disturbed without being disturbed.

Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were very unhappy, saying that Shi Bin was too timid and afraid, and the more he lived, the more he went back, he just pretended to be a grandson in front of people, and even had to scatter some of the gold and silver in his hand.

The two of them naturally understand these tricks of gagging with money, but they are just indignant in their hearts, of course Shi Bin doesn't care about what Jia Ling said, and he doesn't have the time to care, and he still has more important things to think about: how to share the credit with Yu Yu when he returns to Chengdu. Although he Shi Bin led the troops, in fact, he only brought 3,000 men and horses, and the real battle relied on the Sichuan army under Yu Jue. So the account is really not easy to calculate, Shi Bin doesn't want to fight hard to repel the Yuan people, and he has a reputation for being insatiable.

Seeing that Shi Bin ignored the nagging of the two of them, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi naturally felt even more unhappy and asked Shi Bin why he ignored them.

If it was normal, Shi Bin would definitely break out and say that they didn't understand the overall situation and were short-sighted, but now he was too lazy to engage in education, but said calmly: "What can you do now without holding your tail between your legs?" I don't want to lose this great situation and become the target of public criticism. ”

"Didn't you already have that 'thank-you teacher' banquet? Why do we have to divide half of Wu Tian's family wealth, why should those people who have done nothing still take benefits? Sai Xi Shi asked stiffly.

"I can't say that, first, if it weren't for their backing, our 3,000 men would have been swallowed up long ago. Second, Lord Yu obviously wants me to take over Sichuan, how can I not make a good alliance with these generals? We have made such a big contribution, and it is really not too much for others to share some wealth. You are all reasonable people, why can't you think so much today? Not wanting to anger the two Hedong lions, Shi Bin spoke softly, just hoping that they could live in peace.

Even if he hates the thankless territory of Sichuan more and more, Shi Bin can be regarded as realizing that it is better for guests not to do things.

"I have a plan, you can help me come up with an idea."

"Say it, Shi Dashuai." Jia Ling said with some disdain.

"How do we really set foot in Sichuan? I don't think it's enough to rely on some hints from Yu Jue, it's better to make it clear, what do you think? Otherwise, we will always be a part-time worker, and it is easy to be hated by others for our efforts. Shi Bin said solemnly.

"It makes sense, Lord Yu didn't make it clear before, he just transferred the elite to his husband, which is just a sign of trust in his ability to command troops, and it doesn't really mean anything." Jia Ling immediately agreed.

"Is it possible to ask Yu Jue to hold a meeting and let him explain at the meeting?" Sai Xi Shi sneered and said.

"How can this be? First of all, I have to find out the pulse of Yu Jue, and see what kind of attitude he has towards me, whether he wants me to take over his class as soon as possible, or just form an offensive and defensive alliance so that I can meddle in the affairs of Kawauchi. Shi Bin muttered, "After all, there is still a big difference, and there are many people who are worried about his position as the envoy and commander of the Sichuan system." ”

They all thought that Shi Bin was right, so they decided to go back to Chengdu first to find out Yu Jue's attitude and then talk about the rest of the matter, so as not to blindly think about it.

With this purpose in mind, the troops marched much faster, and soon entered the Chengdu camp.

Although Yu Jue did not greet him, he was obviously overjoyed when he met Shi Bin in the tent, and it is estimated that he never thought that Shi Bin would use 12,000 Song troops to defeat the elite of 50,000 people led by the general Wuliang Hatai, so Shi Bin was a message of condolences and gratitude as soon as he entered the tent.

"I don't know if the person I sent back told you about Wu Tianxia?" Shi Bin asked.

"Having said that, I also want to thank Master Shi for the Great Song Dynasty for me, except for a big hidden danger. That Wu Tianchuan has always helped the Yuan people smuggle strategic materials, but the official has never been able to catch the evidence of his crimes, and now he is the best. It's just that I don't know why Lord Shi still wants to protect him? Yu Jue said.

"He was actually forced to rebel by me, if it weren't for that, it would really be difficult to defeat the Yuan people. The main reason for letting him go was because he promised me that he would stand on your side in the future, Lord Yu, and no longer collude with Uncle Xie Fang. Shi Bin smiled.

"I see, then thank you Lord Shi. I won't join him, and everything will be at the disposal of Lord Shi. ”

Speaking of which, Shi Bin and Yu Jue both knew that they were going to get to the point next, but they didn't want to speak first, so they both tasted tea. But where is Shi Bin who can taste tea? In his eyes, tea is no different from boiled water, and a pot of Biluochun was drunk by him in two sips. Without tea and nature, you have to speak.

"Lord Yu, this battle is over, what are you going to do next? Shi is not experienced enough, and he is afraid that he will not handle it properly, so he has to consult an adult. Shi Bin waited anxiously and kicked the ball to Yu Jue's side, asking him to think about this thorny problem.

"Lord Shi is really good at being a man, leave this thorny problem to me to solve."

"Lord Yu's words are wrong, although Shi is the coach this time, but you forget that I am still just a guest general, and after the battle, it is naturally inconvenient for me to interfere in the next things, at most I will make a suggestion." Shi Bin said.

"Lord Shi is really powerful, what he said is so reasonable, then I will think about it for you."

Yu Jue was naturally very steady in a high position for a long time, he closed his eyes and thought for a while but snorted a few times but didn't say a word, and didn't open his eyes until he let out a long groan and said, "I remember that Lord Shi scattered half of Wu Tian's family wealth to the reinforcements I sent, right?" ”

"It is true."

"Thank you, Lord Shi, in my opinion, this battle should be the first to be successful, how about the success of the sixth?"

When he heard that he was going to let him occupy six successful labors, Shi Bin was taken aback. If he really received the merit like this, I am afraid that even if he enters Sichuan in the future, it will be difficult to win people's hearts.

"The adults joked. Without the Ran family brothers and the 10,000 elites you sent, I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to go out of the Yibin City Gate. Without most of the reinforcements after that, the Yuan people may not be able to make a comeback immediately. Shi Bin said with a smile.

This is naturally a lie, Yu Jue definitely didn't believe it, but this attitude made him comfortable, and then said: "The problem is that Lord Shi, you have made such a great contribution and are the commander of the army, if you don't even account for the six successful labors, it is really unreasonable." ”

Although he really wanted to receive this credit and felt itching, Shi Bin finally refused, saying that it was not his own work, and he accounted for forty percent at most.

Tai Chi played nearly a cup of tea, and Shi Bin and Yu Jue reached a tacit understanding: Shi Bin accounted for four successful labors, Yu Jie and the Ran brothers accounted for four successful labors, and the rest only arrived but did not participate in the war.

The two of them then immediately sent this official document to the generals of all walks of life, and everyone was satisfied with this result, and the hostility towards Shi Bin naturally turned into good intentions, from the original exclusion to expectation, after all, there is a credit share for running through, which is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing.

After a few days of repairing in the Chengdu camp, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi learned that Yu Jue's attitude was still vague and blamed Shi Bin for not doing things well and not fighting for his own interests.

This time, Shi Bin still didn't admit that he was wrong, and shook his head and said: "If you want to take it, you must give it first." ”

Jia Ling couldn't see Shi Bin like this the most, so she shouted angrily: "Fart!" He Yu Yu is obviously fooling you, not to mention how can you not take advantage of the six successful labors? I think I should take it for granted! ”

"Yes! I still think it's less! Sai Si Shi echoed.

"I'll make a bet with you, before I go back from camp, Yu Jue will come and invite me to drink!"

Shi Bin's words made Jia Ling and Sai Xishi speechless, because this is a custom, and if the guests want to leave the host, of course they have to set up a banquet to send them off.

"Please eat, can you guarantee that he will express his attitude clearly?" Sai Si Shi asked.

But Jia Ling on the side calmed down, no longer angry, lowered her head and pondered and said, "It is indeed possible to express your attitude at that time." Then he told the reason to Sai Xishi, who was still ignorant.

The night before the camp departed, Yu Jue really held a banquet to see off Shi Bin, but this time he felt more like a brother than a colleague.

"Brother Shi Xian, don't you mind if I call you that, right?" Yu Jue asked with a smile.

"It's really my third life to have a brother like Lord Yu, and I'm naturally happy."

"Brother Xian has made meritorious service this time, and I am really a little guilty for taking a lot of you away for my brother, please forgive me." Yu Jue said obviously from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother Tai, this is for my good, as the so-called 'Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind', this doesn't want me to become the target of the public." Shi Bin also said sincerely.

"It's rare for a virtuous brother to think like this, and a foolish brother has something I want to ask for advice."

"Brother, please speak."

"Why does the virtuous brother think that my Great Song is so weak? It seems that the Yuan people are not irresistible, at least the virtuous brother has never been defeated. Yu Jue said very melancholy.

"Now my Great Song Dynasty is in internal and external difficulties. Internal and external troubles, external troubles are small, mainly internal worries. ”

"What the virtuous brother said is very true, I am so restrained because of internal worries. I would also like to thank you for helping me share the risk this time and remove the hidden danger of Wu Tianchuan. ”

"Brother Tai doesn't have to be so concerned, I also have selfish intentions to leave him, you must understand."

"I don't care if I'm selfish or not, but helping me in addition to this is a great help, and I want to thank you for my brother." Yu Jue smiled and said, "There's something I don't know if you've thought about..."

Knowing that Yu Jue was probably about to express his position, Shi Bin responded to all changes with the same attitude, and asked humbly: "May I ask what Brother Tai said?" ”

"For such a great merit, the court will definitely have a reward, but what is the reward?" Yu Jue said meaningfully.

Shi Bin really hadn't thought about this question, he was only thinking about how to get on good terms with Yu Ji and enter Sichuan, so he shook his head blankly.

Yu Jue smiled: "For my brother, there are two strategies for my brother to choose." First, your father-in-law, Lord Jia, is now transferred to the ambassador of the Lianghuai system, and the shortage of the pacification envoy on Jinghu North Road has come out, you can try to do this concurrently, but you may have to give up the South Road transfer envoy, otherwise it will be easy to be criticized. The other is to invite the virtuous brother to come to my Sichuan as a transit envoy and help the gang as a brother, but most of them will have to give up half of the power in Jinghu South Road. ”

According to Yu Jue's tone, Shi Bin felt that no matter what choice he made, Yu Jue would be sponsored, which made him ecstatic. But at the same time, it is also difficult.

The pacification of Jinghu South Road made him not want to lose it, so is it better to fight for the pacification of Jinghu North Road, or to come to Sichuan as a transfer envoy to help Yu Jue?

Jinghu North Road is Jia Nidao's territory, and if his son-in-law takes over, it will definitely not be a big problem. He Shi Bin fought two big victories in Sichuan, and his reputation was famous, and once Yu Yu stepped down and took over Sichuan, it would be easy.

When she was thinking carefully, Jia Ling walked in from outside the door and said to Shi Bin: "Lord Yu has this kind intention, and my husband naturally has to accept it." There are few people in the world who have such a big belly. ”

As soon as he heard Jia Ling's words, Shi Bin immediately expressed his willingness to serve as a transfer envoy in Sichuan, but it was difficult to get to his post, so most of the time he could only nominate him. Yu Yu didn't plan to ask Shi Bin to stay in Sichuan, so he naturally agreed.

After the banquet, Shi Bin immediately asked Jia Ling, saying that he didn't understand what she meant.

"I know that you don't want to be a registered messenger, and you want to go to Jinghu North Road to catch the pacification envoy, so as to grasp the entire Jinghu Road in your hands, but I don't think so."

"Tell me about it." Shi Bin asked.

"Sichuan is a treasure land of feng shui, don't you want the court to make a decree when Yu Jue and other officials from all over the country are willing to accept you? What's more, now my father is the ambassador of the Lianghuai system, if you are still the pacification envoy of the north and south roads of Jinghu Lake, it is that others say that we have no objection and no one will believe it. ”

"I, so I can only go to Sichuan to hang up an official position as a transit envoy?" Shi Bin said with some deflatment.

"Of course. Lord Yu really treats you as a brother this time, otherwise he wouldn't have said that. If you were a transit envoy to Sichuan, you would definitely not have hindered him, and many of his things would have been much easier to handle, and you would not have incurred so many resentments. After all, it's just a nominal person who won't pose a substantial threat to anyone, but at the same time, there is something that can make the officials in Sichuan slowly accept you. ”

After thinking about it, he could only admit that Jia Ling's words were reasonable, and finally planned to resign from Jinghu South Road and seek Sichuan as a transfer envoy.
